Minister of Education Cheng Ying-yao stated today that in response to the typhoon trend, the Joint University Entrance Committee will hold an emergency meeting today, and a decision on whether to postpone the test is expected this afternoon.

Cheng Ying-yao said that he was invited by the Taiwan Thinktank that day, and the organizers informed him that there were many vehicles around the venue and it was difficult to park, so he was arranged to get off the car quickly by the roadside. "I got off the car, and that's about it." (Editor: Li Heng-shan) 1150707
